Incident Overview

In this way, hackers embezzled approximately $7 million before the security team was able to track, control, and prevent the outflow of funds. A total of 5,251 users were affected, and each user lost an average of $1250. Fortunately, users who hold up to $900 in funds are not affected at all.
